There were a total of forty-two educated youths at the Hongqi Youth League site, all of whom were sent to the countryside to work.
But they did not live in Qikou Village or Heilingzi Village, but instead concentrated on farming deep in the wetlands.
According to the general process of joining the team, the educated youth who joined the team had to borrow food rations from the team first, and then the food rations would be deducted from the harvest at the end of the year.
However, when Hongqitun was first built, the food problem of the educated youth soon became cannon fodder in the struggle between Tong Quanliang and Xu Changshun.
Qikou Village and Heilingzi Village blamed each other. If some educated youth were not so hungry that they ran to the county to complain, the people in the educated youth site would have hardly been able to borrow any food.
However, Hongqitun was established after the winter, and the educated youth had no work points at all. After finally making it to the spring, they were about to face food shortages again.
The team leader who was previously disliked by the educated youth has used his connections to transfer to another place to join the team.
The educated youth tried to find Tong Quanliang or Xu Changshun several times, but they were always dismissed with the excuse of "waiting for the new team leader to take office."
Zhang Hongcheng also knew that Tong Quanliang and Xu Changshun would not lend food so easily.
The grain in the warehouses of the two villages is prepared for villagers to borrow in case of emergency.
He never even thought about suing those two people.
In fact, he hoped that the relationship between Xiqingdian and the two villages would be as severe as possible.
Because of the great fortune behind the educated youth site, he didn't want those people to have a share of it.
Ten minutes later, Wang Fengzhi and Xia Juan came out with strange looks on their faces.
Wang Fengzhi was holding three envelopes, and Xia Juan was holding a handful of food coupons.
Wang Fengzhi smiled and said to everyone, "Captain Zhang probably knew about our situation before he came, so he borrowed a lot of food coupons from friends and leaders in advance."
"The captain means that we can lend you some for emergency use."
"The maximum amount of grain coupons each person can borrow, plus their own grain reserves, is 20 catties."
He pointed at Xia Juan.
"If you want to borrow it, please contact Xia Juan to register."
"Then I'm assigned to go to the city to buy food. Everyone, please give me the amount you need, food coupons, and money. I'll be leaving soon."
A short educated youth sneered.
"If we go to the county to buy grain, that's commercial grain. We're all educated youth working in the countryside, so who would dare to sell it to us?"
Wang Fengzhiye smiled strangely and waved the three envelopes in his hand.
"Instead of going to the county, our captain gave me three tips and told me I just had to deliver them as required."
The educated youth were all skeptical.
But after registering their grain reserves with Yu Kai, people who went to borrow grain coupons from Xia Juan automatically lined up.
The office was a mud room with one window, an old desk and a rickety chair.
Zhang Hongcheng didn't sit on the wobbly chair, but sat directly on the table with his legs crossed.
Looking at the neat line of people outside the door who were borrowing food coupons, he smiled proudly.
First, he needs to control everyone's food supply, and then it will be easy for him to deal with the three things he will do as a new official.
